#11: totally agree with you about the technology and power waste etc BUT it's called "big think" not "big discuss". So maybe thats's the whole point of that 2 minutes speech? To make kids think about solutions on their own? Just my loose thought.
And to be honest I don't like Professor Kaku tv shows or lectures - way too shallow for me now but if I was ten or eight that'd be just perfect. If someone wants to get more answers or knowledge there's TED for example. Or a science educator

There's great speech about marketing, search for "Bill Hicks on marketing." Let me quote: "By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing...kill yourself...you're the ruiner of all things good...you are Satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage...kill yourself."

Cool shot but still, three minutes of almost nothing. I miss old Discovery shows, fun but with real science beneath. Now, with all that Mtv hype and movie trailer voices everything looks like crap. In HD of course

I've heard that there's no obligatory car insurance policy in Russia, you've to prove in court that it wasn't your fault. And that's why so many camcorders and we've so many "Russia car crash compilations". Don't know if it's true though

#6 Have you read "Ender's game" recently? Because it's an Orson Scott Cards idea from year 1977 And if you all want to see more advanced technology, look for "fmri" and "thought identification patterns" - amazing stuff, jawdropping. Remebmer role playing game "Cyberpunk 2020"? Well, it's going to be 2020

#12 the problem is, we make them that way: we took what we wanted, we drew borders and gave'em machine guns and landmines. Now they're dying and they don't even know why. Once I had the same opinion as yours - leave them alone to starve, they'll manage or not, not my problem. But one article changed my mind: "Africa: third world isn't black and white" by Ryszard Kapu?ci?ski. I can't find it in english though...

Well, it was stupid like hell.. but hey, they didn't kill him, no harm done, few good laughs, one, big bruise it's Army, for God sake, maybe it's their reaction to something, maybe thay're scared and bored? We all do stupid things sometimes

Amazing montage and music, great feeling watching that kind of vid on snotr! Thumb up of course. But fake indeed, he's not breathing out and i think that's impossible while diving, way too much co2 in blood

I had that dream once, I was walking around my old house and I knew that it's (it was?) 15 years ago. I saw myself and my parents and the whole dream was so peaceful! And I was calm like never before in my life because I knew that nothig wrong's going to happen for the next 15 years. Great feeling

Totally pointless advert, maybe fun to make but sooo boooring to watch.
I don't like the advert and I begin to think that something is terribly wrong with Google as a company ("don't be evil" video etc.)
